(0...10V). Strain gauge: Electronic component that will change its resistance while its length has changed. Strain gauges are used in the FMS force sensors for acquisition of the feedback value.
The force sensors measure the tension force in the material and transmit the measuring value as a mV signal to the electronic unit CMGZ434. The electronic unit amplifies the mV signal and calculates the error to the reference value. If the material tension is too low resp.
Interface As standard, the electronic unit supports an RS232 interface. As an option, there is an additional board with CAN-Bus interface available. fig. 2: Block diagram of the electronic unit CMGZ434 C434002e 4.4 Drive There can be used any AC or DC four-quadrant drive selected according to the required...
Tension may change when humidity, temperature, winding or unwinding diameters vary or when the sheets are being printed, coated, glued or pressed. Tension is measured constantly and maintained at the correct value with the FMS force measuring and control system.
Operating Manual CMGZ434 7 Dimensions 7.1 Dimensions: Variant for insert card support block (CMGZ434) fig. 4: Dimensions of the variant using insert card support block (series CMGZ400). The support block EMGZ555959 has to be ordered separately. C431006us If the electronic unit should be mounted into a 19“ rack, a multipoint plug is used instead of the support block.
8.1 Mounting and wiring of the electronic unit Variant for insert card support block (CMGZ434) The insert card support block can be mounted in a control cabinet. Wiring to the terminals is done according to „8.5 Wiring diagram: Variant for insert card support block“ (fig. 6).

Operating Manual CMGZ434 9.2 Schematic diagram of main operating menu fig. 11 C434008e 9.3 Checking the parameters Before the initial setup is done, the following parameters have to be set resp. you have to check if they correspond with the effective machine conditions (ref. to „11.
Operating Manual CMGZ434 9.4 Calibrating the measuring amplifier Simulating Method (recommended) The following instructions are referring to a setup and calibration on-site. The material tension will be simulated by a weight (fig. 12). • Connect the first force sensor • Check, if a positive value is displayed when loading the sensor in measuring direction.

Operating Manual CMGZ434 Parametrization of the tacho roller For the control unit knowing the actual line speed, the line speed signal has to be set in relation to the diameter and speed of the tacho roller: • Set line speed signal on the master computer or on a drive already setup to a certain value, for ex.
9.10 Additional settings PI or PID configuration The Tension Controller can be operated as PI or as PID controller. FMS recommends operating as PI controller because this setup is much easier to handle, and the controller dynamics are sufficient for most applications (refer also to „5. Controller theory“):...
Operating Manual CMGZ434 10 Serial interface (RS232) The serial interface is operated for example by a personal computer as a kind of „question and answer“ game: The PC sends a question resp. a command; the electronic unit will send an answer back. If the answer is missing, the electronic unit or the connection cable may fail.
